Configure and Enable Network Management (SER MGT Port)

Language:

Note - In some situations, this task can be performed from the network management interface at RJ-45 ports. Upon completion of the task, the connection is severed and you must re-access the SP for continued management.

Access the Oracle ILOM CLI from the SER MGT port.
See Access the SP (SER MGT Port).

Configure the SP network management parameters.
```
-> set /SP/network property=value property=value ...
```
where:
- property is the parameter of the network to configure.
- value is the value of the property being configured.
These properties are supported:
- pendingipdiscovery – value is the method of IP discovery to be configured, either static or dhcp.
  
  Note - If the value is dhcp, you must know how your DHCP server assigns an IP address and host name to the SP.
- pendingipaddress – value is the IP address of the SP to be configured. Not needed for DHCP.
- pendingipgateway – value is the IP address of the routing gateway of the management network. Not needed for DHCP.
- pendingipnetmask – value is the netmask for the management network. Not needed for DHCP.
Note - You can configure one to all properties on one command line.

Enable SP network management by IPv4.
```
-> set /SP/network state=ipv4-only
```

Enable secure connections to the SP.
1. For the CLI interface and SSL, type:
```
-> set /SP/services/ssh state=enabled
```
2. For the web interface and HTTPS, type:
```
-> set /SP/services/https servicestate=enabled
```

Commit the SP network management configuration.
```
-> set /SP/network commitpending=true
```
The new configuration parameters take effect immediately.

Start the host console.

-> start /HOST/console
Are you sure you want to start /HOST/console (y/n)? y
Serial console started.  To stop, type ESC (

Press the Enter key.

hostname login:

Log in to the SCP as the root user.

hostname login: root
Password:password
Last login: Fri May 25 09:51:36 on ttyS0
[root@hostname ~]#

The default password is changeme.

Set the SCP IP address.
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress SCP_IP_address|dhcp|ilom
```
where SCP_IP_address is the IP address to be assigned to the SCP. Alternatively, you can configure IP address assignment by DHCP or Oracle ILOM. If you provide a static IP address, you will also need to provide the netmask and the IP address of the management network gateway. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool ipaddress 123.45.67.90
Enter netmask: 255.255.255.0
Enter default gateway: 123.45.67.1
Restart network now? (Y/n)
```

Restart the network to use the new values.

[root@hostname ~]#

(Optional) Set the hostname.
Provide the new host name. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostname
```
where hostname is the host name of the SCP. For example:
```
[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool hostname hostwiththemost
[root@hostname ~]#
```

Apply the changes.

[root@hostname ~]# nm3tool apply
